Regarding the 787b. It won one single race (one that counted admittedly). It never won anything else. The win is due to reliability as the faster cars faltered and failed.
It also wasn't banned. Group C rules ended as the new f1 inspired 3.5litre rules came in. The 26b along with all the other groupc cars now didn't fit.
The 26b was used in the rx792p but was underpowered compared to it's competition (Imsa) All the history is there if you research.
@thor8333 lol what the fuck dude rotarys have bugger all torque but then again in figures a rotary with half the horse power of a v8 will still clean up a v8
That's not entirely true. V8's are usually (because of the vehicles that they are designed to go into) broad powerband, torquey engines that won't really rev much. Rotaries are not torquey at all, heavly ported rotaries tend to behave like two strokes (lots of peaky HP but not much torque down low)... so in a drag race you'll lag until the engine builds revs and if you keep it in the powerband it will beat a V8 with the same BMEP (forget Hp), but not from the start.
I would love to have a 20b but a 26b... Omg! There is a reason why this motor isn't aloud in the lemans no more. Unfair advantage. Similar to the big hemi's in nascar in the 70's they had the regulator power and what not. Love the rotary!
@Tj1056 a stock 26b engine should come with 350 bhp minimum. its balancing and tuning that makes it powerful. the mad mike is a custom made 26b but its very well alike the 787b mazda 26b. and its a sequential i think :D
@richrich27 yes and also the r26b had 3 spark plugs per rotor... wish i had that on my rotary haha... each rotor should equal a total of 125hpx4 500hp lowest mark I would see if you are using 13b-rew parts just one built motor and not 2 put together like a few have done lol... those 4 rotor have seen 600hp+ easy with porting and tunning
@Tj1056 true. but rotary engines run rich naturally because of the secondary fuel injectors. if 13b-rew runs max at 290hp (that is twin-turbo) then it should run 90-130 hp per rotor. this is an amazing engine. but hard to maintain... oil consumption is crazy on this car... smog and stuff...
@richrich27 yea thats why 3 plugs would change the whole thing lol... more spark run less rich, will be more fuel friendly.. btw thats how the 4 rotor won the le mans... its gas lasted longer then the rest lol... and people say the rotary is not fuel efficient
LOL I love the 787B I really do. But it won because of holes in the regulations, not because it was fuel efficient. Mazda, though, has managed to capitalize on that victory and sell people the idea that the rotary CAN be fuel efficient, and technically it can, almost any engine can... but what it will never be is eco-friendly, because of the harsh emissions from burning low amounts of oil. The wankel engine would need a heavy revision to it's mechanics, to becomes eco-friendly.
@richrich27 wrong, a 20B will at a minimum make 350hp all motor..... even a 12A based 4rotor (24B) will make about 500hp all motor.... a 13b based 4rotor (26B) will make AT LEAST 600hp with the right tuning...

@richrich27 the R226B in the 787B was rated at 700hp@9000rpm(detuned for LeMans) and 900hp@12000rpm ( uncorked)
the magic with the 4rotor is NOT is balancing, its in the port work and compression ratio.
